Natalie Wilson, Editor in Chief

Natalie Wilson is a senior at North Forsyth High School and a fourth-year journalism student. Though she is eager to depart on her own life adventure, she strives to leave a mark on The Raider Wire and lead the staff to its best year yet. She loves all things writing, and hopes to go to college somewhere less hot and sticky than Georgia to grow her passion. A few of her favorite activities include kayaking, going to concerts, scream-singing in her Jeep, and pretending like her dogs understand her when she talks to them.
